"A 3-day mourning will begin with a three-minute silence at 1428 ((Monday 19 May 2008, 0628 GMT), exactly a week after the quake struck the south-western Sichuan province."
BBC News, 18 May 08
Probably I will be still in bed by then and cannot join my fellow Chinese with the 3 min silence on the other side of the world. The only thing that I can do is to give a donation and to pray for all the people in Sichuan who died or being affected by the devastating disaster.
For those who would like to make a donation, please click on the following link to the website of Chinese Embassy. They have an account in Bank of China (UK) dedicated to Sichuan Earthquake:

It was reported that the Japanese recue team gave a 15 sec silence mourning whenever they found a dead body in the rubble, a truly respectable attitude towards life and death. Just hope Sichuan people's (and neighbouring provinces) lives can be rebuilt soon.
